Kapitel 11: Guild History Part 2

"Not even our forefathers could defy that. After a few generations, new climbers became less greedy and began to leave large inheritances to their children. They also devised a method for a child to receive immense talent equal to their parents' gift of the tower."

"From them, our people learned about the tower's power system. Then some daring people began to build a tremendous power system that we all inherit. The guilds arose as a result of this."

"Huh! The guilds arose as a result of the power structure?" When Peter heard his remarks, he grimaced. He had no idea the tower had such a rich history.

"Yeah, the power system gave birth to guilds." As he said this, the waiter folded his hand and displayed a crimson dragon tattoo on his forearm. Then he raises his index finger, and a flame appears on it.

"As members of the Fire Dragon Guild, we are bestowed with the Fire Mana Skill. We go through baptism after joining the guild, and we gain a skill that allows us to transmute the neutral mana from our bodies into flames."

"We may boost the quality and amount of mana inside our bodies by simply training. When two climbers mate, some people are gifted with extraordinary abilities. Later, those folks have more children, and those youngsters are also gifted."

"Of course, those endowed with such abilities climb the tower in the same way that the climbers do. For those of us who do not have such talent, we are stuck on the same level for the rest of our lives and remain on the same floor." The waitress spoke confidently.

'All right, that was somewhat unexpected. It's almost like I'm back in history class.' Peter continued to eat his dinner while he pondered something.

"Do I have to be a member of a guild to receive that mana power system?" Peter inquired.

"To learn the genuine skill, you must join the guild." The waiter nods and responds.

"Is that why you admire climbers so much?" Peter pondered for a moment before asking. He can see that their attitude toward the climber was genuinely based on their demeanor. It was a genuine show of respect.

"Not completely! We respect climbers for a different purpose. In reality, it is a regulation established by our god. As his supporters, we must adhere to every decision he takes. Climbers must be respected, as must the hierarchy, and the fire mana system must be practiced by those who join Fire Dragon Guild. These are the rules that we must abide by."

"When we reach the age of sixteen, we have the opportunity to be baptized with the blessing of our deity. Of fact, noble children can obtain the blessing far earlier."

"Does everyone in-floor zero use the same mana system? And how did he save you all? I mean, how could he put a stop to the carnage on this floor? Could you just explain this to me?" The more Peter learns about Lucifer, the more intrigued he becomes.

Of course, he is aware of Lucifer's identity. But he has no idea how a character from a book came to life.

"No, everyone does not use the same mana system. The Zero Floor is home to four guilds. Three of them are owned by our god, while the fourth is owned by someone else. Our God put an end to the slaughter by striking a bargain with the administration."

"Administration usually does not listen to anyone's plea. But our deity is someone who has broken the tower's laws and even made it back alive. That is why the administrative amended the laws so that the climber would not gain strength by murdering people or anything other than the monster in the dungeon."

"The three guilds are Fire Dragon Guild, Heavenly Demon Guild, and Spirit God Guild. Each guild has a unique power system. Fire Dragon Guild heavily focuses on Mana. Heavenly Demon Guild focuses on Internal Energy. As for Spirit God Guild focuses on Genetic Power.

"These three guilds were created by our God. He is the climber who has shocked the tower's top and bottom floors. He is the climber who has been endowed with the ability to transform into a Dragon, God, or Demon."

"If you join our guild, our deity will protect you for the rest of your life."

With a proud grin on his face and hearing his remarks, Peter picked up the fork, placed the meat in his mouth, and continued eating.

"All right, I don't have any more questions. You are welcome to wait outside." Peter notices the waiter's puzzled expression and speaks out.

The waiter could only leave with a puzzled expression after hearing his statements. He didn't notice what Peter was staring at.

[Skill- Burning Sun

Rank- Common

Description- The fire is the source of destruction. Mana is neutral. When the veins burn with flames, mana transforms into the fire.

Effect 1: This skill allows Climber to transform his neutral Mana into Fire Mana.

Effect 2: Climber can control, manifest, and even conjure flame to create his own moves

Effect 3: Climber's body gets stronger after leveling up the skill along with the intensity of flames.

(Note: This skill is incomplete hence it is ranked Common. Gather the complete skill to rank up the skill)]

[Would you like to learn Burning Sun Skill?]

[Yes] [No]

[Disclaimer- Once it is learned, it can't be removed from the slot.]

'Should I study this? Hmm! If I understand the second effect correctly, it states that I can make my own moves. That means that if I learn how to properly control the flames, I will be able to use them for offense, defense, and even movement. If I may say, it's not a bad skill.'

'But there is one thing I am not sure about.'

"Hey, System, can I learn this talent without being baptized?" When the perplexity hit Peter's head, he considered for a moment and bluntly inquired system.

"After reading the skill's instruction, yes you can!" As usual, the system responds with a chilly mechanical tone.

"Good! Then I want to learn this skill." Peter nods and presses the 'yes' button.

The next thing he knows, a massive amount of information has entered his head. After a few minutes, he noticed that his entire body was sweating profusely. He inquires with the waiter about the restroom, which appears to be attached to his room.

He walks inside the bathroom. Surprisingly, it was composed of crystals. There was a large bathtub and a shower. But it was a little strange. Instead of taps, blue diamond-shaped crystals were put in their place.

According to the waiter, this is known as Water Ore. It is a magnificent resource capable of producing water after storing vast amounts of water mana. Other rooms below the third floor normally do not have access to it.

The ores are classified into nine levels, beginning with level one and progressing to level nine. This was the ore at level one. When he pressed the ore's center, water dropped like showers. As he bathed, he recalled his knowledge of the Burning Sun.

He can practice it, just how the system said. But he needs something in order to do so.

Fire Spirit Grass and Fire Ore He needs both of them to turn his normal veins into fire veins. Only then may he convert his neutral mana to fire mana. Normally, a person stores his mana inside the core and that is neutral mana.

Without a skill, he can't use the neutral mana for a certain path.

Fire Ore is indeed pricey. One Mana Coin can only be used to purchase two Fire Ores. He didn't even know where to look for Fire Spirit Grass.

'I need to go out and go about the city once I bathe. I need to research these two materials. Before that, I need to convert two mana coins into gold coins.' He silently concentrates on his bath after considering what to do.

He steps out after a few minutes, rubbing his hair with a towel. It was lovely when he smelled these towels. They have a rose scent to them. When he spoke with the server, he discovered that these towels are manufactured by a company on the higher floor.

"What's your name?" Peter inquired as he walked alongside the waitress. He instructed the waiter to accompany him to the manager's office immediately after changing his clothing.

"My name is Ray, Sir." Ray the waiter spoke with a polite tone as he leads Peter to the manager's office.

Knock! Knock!

"Sir, Sir Peter would like to meet you!" Ray shouted loudly from outside, which drew considerable attention. While the voice came from within, Peter entirely ignored them.

"Come on in!"

Ray invites him inside by opening the door. Peter is met with a frosty stare from Keth and Jerry as he enters the room. He had no idea what had happened, but his expression quickly changed. Even if it was only for a few seconds, they couldn't keep that from Peter.

"So, Mr. Peter, what brings you here?" Keth spoke with a strained smile.
